Have a 4 wheel alignment done lately? Are the struts in good shape?

Couldn't bushings in the shocks, swaybar, and/or control arms make it do that? Can anyone verify?

I find i have a lot of bump steer. My struts are getting to the end of their life though, but everything is tighted up nicely under there.

An alignment if you haven't had one in a long time is a good idea though.

My sympathies to you, Mazee. May God hold you and your family close during the holiday season.

A 4 wheel alignment cleared up a lot of my problem of the back end kicking out over sharp bumps. New tires took care of the rest.

I'm in much need of both....But no point when the car doesn't run and has a junk CV shaft anyways.
